HISTORY AND LITERATURE: A POSSIBLE DIALOGUE WITH THE PIUM ROMANCE BY ELI BRASILIENSE

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the relationship between History and Literature in the novel Pium, by writer Eli Brasiliense. This paper is theoretically based on authors who claim that this dialogue is viable and advantageous for both áreas of knowledge. However, there hasn't always been a consensus on this matter, since literature has been on the fringes of history for a long time, but this scenario has changed mostly after the Annales School, which started considering it importante to investigate history and Society as the most ample means of investigating history and the Society mory broadly due to the acceptance and insertion of new subjects, new approaches, and consequently, the acceptance of new sources, giving the emphasis on the Cultural History. The hypothesis that arises is that the dialogue bethwen History and Literature is very fruitful in Brasilienses´s work and that through the romance Pium it is possible to learn about economic, political and cultural aspects of the region in the period.
